Zimbabwe High Court dismisses Tinashe Mwazha's 25-year murder sentence appeal due to 8-year delay.

The High Court in Zimbabwe dismissed Tinashe Mwazha's appeal against his 25-year murder sentence, which he began serving in 2015. Mwazha, who sought to appeal after eight years, argued he was unaware of his right to appeal and faced delays in obtaining court records. However, the court ruled his application was invalid as it should have been filed within 12 days of conviction and found the eight-year delay in his appeal unjustifiable.
